In vitro method to assess the antimicrobial activity and potential efficacy of novel types of wound dressings (2005)
Journal Article
Thorn, R., Greenman, J., & Austin, A. J. (2005). In vitro method to assess the antimicrobial activity and potential efficacy of novel types of wound dressings. Journal of Applied Microbiology, 99(4), 895-901. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2672.2005.02671.x

Aims: To develop a simple, reproducible in vitro static diffusion method using cellulose disks and defined species to test antimicrobial efficacy of wound dressings. Methods and Results: Cellulose disks were inoculated by immersion in cell suspension...

EcoBot-II: An artificial agent with a natural metabolism (2005)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I., Melhuish, C., Greenman, J., & Horsfield, I. (2005). EcoBot-II: An artificial agent with a natural metabolism. International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2(4), 295-300. https://doi.org/10.5772/5777

In this paper we report the development of the robot EcoBot-II, which exhibits a primitive form of artificial symbiosis. Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) were used as the onboard energy supply, which consisted of bacterial cultures from sewage sludge and...
